I bought what I thought was a 2003-2006 workshop manual book on e-bay . When I received it , it was a disk with selected PDF files of the entire features. Though out the pages was a e-bay buyers # and ID blocking some of the main features, but to a point was still some sort readable . Having complained to e-bay that it was not what was written on the sellers AD , I was given a refund of the full price . This in a way is a copy right breach as I'm sure the seller didn't want any problems as he had 100's of other car makes as well. If anybody wants these PDF files please post me a reply with your email address and I'll send them to you free of charge. Cheers , Carey

Replying to: mrmga (Jun 03, 2009 4:44 pm) We did take ours back during this time to get the pillar post between the two doors redone since it was peeling off. It was a minor thing that they did fix but they said it would have cost us if it was past $12K. The rest of the 10 yr. warranty covers different things equally 10yrs., okay. Don't get confused on the 100K/10yr. promise. Lastly, my cousin works at Honda downstate (not the same one I took the Sorento to get valued), and he said that the Sorento IS a great SUV and so is the Honda CUV. BUT the only real difference is paying lots ofr the Honda or get the Sorento and enjoy that one too (scaled down, but still nice, of course). Bottomline: We love our Kia Sorento EX, with no problems, and it is nice to look at and is solid quality just like any other vehicle out there. |

the only thing wrong with the sorento is its below average MPG when compared to other SUVs of the same size...its at the lower end....also to maintain the warranty you have to followed all scheduled maintenance to the T.....or a dealership may not honor warranty work.....the 10/100 is for the drive train only......again...the diff fluids and trans fluids must be change routinely, timing belt done at 40 or 60K and tuneups at 60K.....that was my 03 Sorento.......I did drive it for 5 years before the front differental when out..with 115K on it....dealership wanted almost 4,500 to repair...the part alone was almost 4K...... it was a good vehicle for what is was used for..but maintenance and upkeep are expensive.......just my experience....

Replying to: pao (Jun 04, 2009 4:45 pm) The salesman on the lot told me that these cars have a timing chain vs. belt. Has there been a change or was he just B.S.ing me? BTW, this is my first post. So far I'm a bit leery with all the negative posts, but I don't think the price can be beat.
